Additional text
“This book covers neoplastic and tumor‐like lesions of the liver and biliary tree. … The intended audience is primarily clinicians and pathologists (as well as trainees in pathology), with an emphasis on integrating these two perspectives. Additionally, the book could be a useful resource for researchers in these areas. … This book has a great deal of pertinent information, especially on hepatocellular carcinoma and its variants, which is useful for pathologists desiring details about these tumors.” (Chelsea M.
